COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONThe full flavor of American ascade hops pours out at you from every angle, the result of adding hops 5 different times to the brew, including "dry-hopping". An underlying, rich malt flavor supports the crisp and floral hop bitterness to produce a thirst-quenching, flavorful brew.

Sample at the downtown brewpub. Pours a clear deep orange color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops, fruit and malt. Light body with flavors of herbal hops, roast malt and fruit. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruity hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

(US 09/2012 backlog recollected in abstinence). Fliptop@Random burger/giant brat place in Georgetown, DC. Looks plain and watery, amber with a golden hue, but provided a fair sessional balance of everything you need in an APA: a subtle floral touch, some caramel malt, gentle lingering Cascade citrus rind bitterness. Quick drinker, ideal with and coincidentally appropriate to the same home state as my very salty "brat".
